For the first time this season, the Kings emerged victorious despite the absence of DeMarcus Cousins. The victory came thanks to a dominant offensive performance by Sactown, who shot nearly 60 percent from the field on Wednesday night and had six players in score in double figures.
After a back-and-forth end to the third quarter, the purple and black pulled away in the final frame thanks to 10 fourth-quarter points by Rudy Gay. No. 8 had an impressive night – tallying 36 points on 13-of-21 shooting and getting a crucial four-point play to go in the late stages of the game.
